OpenStudy (anonymous):

with ur brain and pen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my math teacher hates pens

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ b ^{\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }} }{ b ^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }} b ^{-\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry took a while to put in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add exponents in denominator then subtract the resulting exponent from numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm... what do i add and how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh i see what you mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/3 + [1/2 + (-3/2)]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry 1/3 - [1/2 + (-3/2)]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok... os it should come out to-2/3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so ur answer will be B raised to -2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 problem.... it needs to be a possitive exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do i just put that under 1?>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and it becomes 2/3 instead of -2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool XD thanks again
